Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School

Public Grades 7-12
Summary

Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School serves 995 students in grades 7-12 in the small river town of Point Pleasant, WV, as part of the Mason County Schools district.

This school stands out most for its exceptional graduation rate of 97.2%, which consistently beats the state average by about 4-5 percentage points year after year. If your child has an IEP or receives special education services, this is a notable strength—the school ranks in the 76th percentile statewide for special education students, far outperforming its overall ranking. The school also showed dramatic improvement in serving students from low-income households, jumping from the 19th percentile to the 57th percentile in just one year. However, be aware that math proficiency drops sharply between 7th and 8th grade (from about 35% to 21% proficient), a much steeper decline than the state average. Science scores are also below state averages, though 11th graders perform better than the district average in this subject.

Compared to Wahama Junior/Senior High School, the district's other secondary school, Point Pleasant offers a larger school experience with more course options and activities. It edges out Wahama in overall state ranking (55th vs. 56th) and has stronger 11th-grade science scores. However, Wahama posts higher English Language Arts proficiency overall (49% vs. 42.5%), particularly in 7th grade. One thing to note: the school's state ranking has been quite volatile over the years—from a 5-star, top-10 finish in 2016-2017 to a 1-star rating just last year, before rebounding to 3 stars this year. This suggests performance can vary significantly from year to year, likely reflecting changes in each class cohort rather than a steady trend.
